Organizational Integrity: Values in Action

This workshop presents a proven and practical approach to apply the organization's mission, core values, and ethical judgment when leaders, board members and staff face difficult, sometimes painful choices.  How do you encourage the kind of honest dialogue that sheds helpful light on the issue?  When resources are limited, important values are in tension and stakeholders will be negatively impacted, how do you come to a decision that is based upon what matters most?  How do you communicate tough choices transparently to preserve your credibility AND respond to likely criticism or concern that could undermine the durability of the decision?
